Exercising the Right
Couple Terrorized
KHOU.com reported out of Houston on July 18 about a home invasion targeting a married couple. Law enforcement says the incident began when a woman pulled into the driveway of her house and was immediately confronted by two armed suspects, who took her purse. The two criminals then forced her toward her house at gunpoint.
The husband was home at the time and heard the sounds of what was going on outside. Fortunately, he was able to grab his firearm and face up to the suspects as they tried to enter the house. The husband fired at the men, hitting one of the suspects in the head and sending the other suspect running from the scene. The couple called 911, and first responders transported the injured suspect to a nearby medical center, where he had emergency surgery.
Big Finance Attacks Rights
This column recently reported on the unsettling development that large financial institutions are trying to ban guns in ways that are impossible through the political process — through cutting off lending and other financial services to gun-shop owners — and this story shows the real-world impact it is having. The Bangor Daily News reported on June 24 about a small businessman in Gainesville, Georgia, who realized just how powerful the financial industry can be. Gary Ramey runs a gun-making business that sells guns to the public, but Ramey recently began branching out to selling products online as well. His latest venture was completely upended, however, when the company that processes his payments informed him that they were dropping his account.
